Documenting home and travel for one American family and possibly others. Approximately half of the images show domestic life and recreation, whereas the other images depict travel in the American South and Mexico. Locations, when identified on the images, include Southeastern Virginia (8); Kentucky (5); Cape Girardeau, Missouri (one); Eureka Springs, Arkansas (4); Pass Christian Mississippi (2); New Orleans and vicinity (13); Austin, Texas and vicinity (13); Mexico (40+). Included are two loose prints and two CDVs, one of which is a Civil War date portrait of a Union Army artillery lieutenant by C. S. German of Springfield, who is best known as a photographer of Abraham Lincoln.

Altogether a fascinating collection of amateur photos depicting a changing America in the waning days of the Gilded Age. In fact, the images' mounts are edged in gold for this presentation..

Light marks from normal handling and storage; expected age toning; overall very good condition.
